All of the information you need to know
for this year's Showcase in one place!
A Note to all Parents,
We are excited to show you how all the hard work your kids have been putting in this year has really paid off!
Thank you all for all of your support and sacrifice.
PLEASE NOTE,
Our green room monitors are all parents of current students who are trained/experienced in assisting and monitoring students in the green room setting.
For the safety of all our students, we ask that only students and authorized green room personnel remain backstage and in green rooms. You are welcome to come in and help your child get set up during dress rehearsals if need be. For details on how to access your child after drop off on show days, please consult our FAQ page below. There will be a steamer available for you in the hallway should any costumes need a last-minute touch up.
We welcome you to come and watch the dress rehearsal, but ask that you keep conversations in the lobby in order not to disturb the rehearsal. We want to get everyone done at a reasonable hour!
We will be having professional photos taken of your students in costume as well as an official video
of the Showcase.
More info on how you can obtain those soon to come!
Don't forget to secure your seats and invite your family and friends!
A note for Duck Duck and Twinkle Stars,
Students will be dropped off at their assigned room in costume for their 'class party' before the show.
We ask that as soon as your child is done performing, please you make your way to their room to pick them up so our teachers can be released to take care of their other classes.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I access my child after I drop them off?
-
For safety reasons, we must require that only people with an access wristband be permitted backstage/in green rooms on show days. That said, depending on the situation, we have a few options for parents:
• Forgotten items can be dropped off at front desk and we will make sure to get it to your child.
• In the event that an individual student needs their parent in the green room with them to help with an emergency situation, the parent will be contacted and an access band will be made available for them at the front desk.
For any other situation or request, please come to the front desk and our staff will be happy to assist you.

-
What happens if my child’s costume gets stained or otherwise damaged?
-
We have a few extra items to replace missing pieces. That said, it is critically important that students cover up while eating/drinking, stay away from water, and are careful in their costumes as we do not have replacements for everything. If a costume is damaged the student may not be permitted to perform. Thank you for helping us teach them to be responsible with their costumes and props!
